Socialist countries need nuclear plants.
Um, what about the Bataan nuclear plant tho?
You think we should rebuild it, if the Philippines is a socialist nation later on?
Absofuckinglutely. No amount of wind or solar is enough to power large population centers
What about hydro-power? The Philippines has a lot of it…
It’s ok but given places like Quezon and Manila have 1 million iirc, we might as well go nuclear.
Also, I hope we get nukes later down the line.
Nuclear is better than the fossil fuel based options for sure, and would make a great transition energy source while we improve wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, and fusion. I don’t think nuclear is a good permanent solution though, so transitioning out of nuclear (after transitioning outbof fossil fuels ofc) should be the goal at that point in our development as a species.
Well, I feel the radiation concerns are sorta… Overblown compared to how much radioactive material a coal or natgas plant would pump out. Very excited to see how that experimental MSR out in the Gobi Desert does.
